How to destroy a Windows computer

I'm not sure if this is still valid, but I thought it was humorous to say the least.

I went to goggle.com using my Linux box w/ Firefox and it tried to open 1 pop-up. Nothing more. As I'm at work, I don't want to try my Windows machine, just in case.

It still works for me. Try this one:

Edit: Nope, it is down now for me too. It showed someone entering goggle.com into IE then the flood of Pop-ups that took over the computer until it Blue Screened. Impressive.

Just tried it on a default, patched XP Pro SP2 system without any third part software. It didn't do as shown.

I have seen a few of those in the years I have been cleaning up Windows systems.
I read a story about an unprotected system getting over a 150 spyware objects installed by visiting the WWF website.

William Butler Yeats in jeans
Got up to play guitar and sing
In some join in Mission Beach last night
At the door sat Tom Waits
In a pork pie hat and silver skates
Jugglin' three collection plates Jesus Christ

Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar
Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star
Can't remember where he parked his car
Or to whom he lost the keys
Full of angst and hillbilly haiku
What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do
Go on rhyme somethin' for em' man
Show him how you really feel

Ain't no money in poetry
That's what sets the poet free
I've had all the freedom I can stand
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
Is all it takes to get me by
Fool my belly till the day I die
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

Ginsberg and Kerouac
Shootin' dice and playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar
With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it
And they sat in the back and drank for free
And rhymed orange with Rosalie

Years ago, when I finally got a Mac for our kids I let them each have a hand on our Windows (windows 98, piece of CRAP) machine and we dropped it out the window, three stories from our apt. window, it exploded on the sidewalk. Then we cleaned everything up....that was fun. They still talk about it..

That's pretty cool. My friends and I will occasionally take some piece of electronic junk out back and introduce it to the sledgehammer. Gets out some stress for sure.

FYI, the lyrics Rickard5 posted are by Guy Clark, "Cold Dog Soup."

Please credit song writers when posting song lyrics. Most are copyrighted material. Unattributed postings give the impression the song is public domain.

Well I've had uncontrollable browser window opening in Windows and on a Mac, so I don't need to see it.
On Windows I've always hit cntr/alt/del and been able to stop it, then wait for all the windows to close.
On my Macs I've pulled the modem connection. It's been a while. :-)
